Rear springs back to air bag replacement

So i bought my 2013 35i used from a dealer and it appears a previous owner cheaped out and went to coil springs in the rear when the bags failed,honestly i am fine with this but i want to do lower the car using the h&r kit but cannot find one with 4 springs just the front soring and leveling links for the rear. And before anyone says “maybe yours wasn’t optioned with it i have verified there is a compressor i can also hear it turn on every time i unlock the car i just have to get under the car and see where the red and blue lines are tucked away or if they’re even still there any advice? does anyone know of any other lowering kits that are availing with coil springs for the rear?

I guess you car has no adaptive shock absorbers? If you have a sport button at the gearshift, you will have them.

That would complicate things a bit.

So take air ride out of the equation as you are saying it was removed.

There are plenty of lowering spring kits for the non air ride cars. H&R, Eibach and all the eBay brands below that.
I just googled “bmw e70 lowering springs” and came up with many links.

I don’t see the complication here?

There is an aftermarket set for lowering with adaptive shocks, that has an electronic gadget to fool the adaptive shock system.
